Pisa, D’Angelo speaks: “An important but not decisive match against Cremonese”
Pisa, 12 March 2022 – Pisa coach Luca D’Angelo presented tomorrow afternoon’s match between Pisa and Cremonese which will take place at the Garibaldi Arena. Between the full crowd, with over 7000 spectators expected and the importance of this match, all the themes of the great big match were addressed.
CREMONESE – D’Angelo takes the floor talking about the opponent: “We know the way the Cremonese team plays, one would be strong that I have always said was among the teams that are also committed to playing the championship. It has a great resilience ball if he dribbles less in the defensive phase – declares D’Angelo -. He has players from a technical point of view, in phrasing. They are a team, the ranking also says so, a lot of points, but like them we are strong too. their cards at the top of the football organization chart. As I have often said, I believe in my players, who I believe to be among the best in their category. And it is right that they compare themselves with other excellent players. We are two different teams, because they are team that focuses more on one-on-one, while we have different characteristics even among midfielders. “.
THE PLAYERS – Pisa had a week conditioned by Caracciolo’s problems, while in the last few days Puscas, Touré, Lucca and De Marino had a recovering flu attack: “Caracciolo was, while the other players we have to see, we still have one day to understand if we can recover them “. Mastinu instead disqualified: “he is doing well, but it is useless to regret the disqualification. Another midfielder with different characteristics will play. Whoever is doing well is really well”. D’Angelo then talks about Benali and Sibilli: “It could be that solution by putting Benali as a midfielder and with an attacking midfielder in front, I want to think about it, but it exists and it’s real. I think I’ll decide tomorrow morning. Sibilli instead played both as a forward and as an attacking midfielder. is another solution to the study “.
THE CHALLENGE – The match against Cremonese is important. “Important yes, decisive no, because there are so many other matches – continues D’Angelo -. I would have said the same thing if we hadn’t met Cremonese, but a team not fighting for the playoffs. We must try to win teenagers from the results of the other matches. Maybe I was expecting some teams that could detach a little more in the standings, but this has not happened. It is difficult to say if it will happen before the last few days “.
SOLD OUT – A full house is expected at the Arena: “I know that tomorrow the Arena will push the team as usual and for us it is an advantage over the Cremonese to have so many people who will be the team to attack and bring home the result” D’Angelo continues.
SIMONI – D’Angelo also expresses a thought and Gigi Simoni: “I think he is unquestionably the most important coach of Pisa, especially for the results obtained – admits the coach -. Bringing Pisa twice to Serie A is an almost unbeatable record. He has he also had an extraordinary career and he did very well also in the Cremonese area, so we hope that he will take part in Pisa from up there. “
COME YOU WIN – Finally D’Angelo talks about the ingredients to win the challenge: “You win by playing as a team, as we do so many times. You win if we manage even with the changes to be determined to enter for half an hour, forty minutes or ten minutes, because whoever takes over can make a difference “. If there is the risk of excessive tension for the match, it is not the case of Pisa: “We prepared it as we do against every opponent. Our players are and they know that the matches will end if you don’t face them with the right mentalities all become difficult – concludes D’Angelo -. In Pordenone the positive thing was that the team went convinced that it would not be a walk in the park and they did it with great maturity. “
